The Affymetrix GeneChip® Xenopus laevis Genome Array can be used to study gene expression of over -4,400 Xenopus laevis transcripts. Sequence information for this array was selected from the following public data sources: GenBank® (release -35.0, April 2003), dbEST (June 2003), and UniGene (Build 36, June 2003). Probe sets on the array were designed with -6 oligonucleotide pairs to detect each transcript.

This array was designed in collaboration with representative members of the Xenopus community and the National Institutes of Health. More information on the design of this array can be found at www.xenbase.org.
